Advancing Diversity and Inclusion

Promoting diversity and inclusion isn’t just a goal that organizations should strive to achieve. It is our responsibility to create opportunities for people of all backgrounds across America.

The CEOs of Business Roundtable, who lead companies with tens of millions of employees, believe that all of us are responsible for making the world a better place than we found it. By advancing diversity and inclusion, Business Roundtable members are acting on their responsibility as leaders.
